Chapter 37: What a Strange Person, Yet Somewhat Cute
Experiencing this scene for the second time, even the final BOSS was instantly killed.
Xia Xue was completely numb.
She wondered if the Goblin King was Lin Moyu’s son, just handing out experience.
Seeing the leveling up light on Lin Moyu, she exclaimed, "You leveled up again? Level 15?"
Lin Moyu nodded, confirming he was indeed level 15.
Xia Xue’s face fell; she was still 30% away from level 13.
The gap between them had widened again.
It was really frustrating.
[Killed Goblin King, Experience +25000]
[Obtained Bronze-grade weapon, Goblin King’s Longsword]
[Obtained Low-level Monster Crystal Core]
Seeing the notification, Xia Xue sighed, "Too bad it’s not a staff."
"You want a staff?" Lin Moyu asked.
Xia Xue nodded, "Yes, the Goblin King’s Staff is the best weapon for mages before level 20."
"I could buy one at the Exchange, but I’d have to ask my dad for money, and I don’t want to do that."
Suddenly, a dark object flew towards her. Xia Xue instinctively caught it.
[Goblin King’s Staff]
This was exactly the staff she wanted.
"It’s yours," Lin Moyu said calmly.
It was just a staff, nothing special to him.
Xia Xue was stunned, taking a while to say, "Thank you."
Then she asked, puzzled, "Why don’t you use it yourself?"
Lin Moyu took out the Goblin King’s Spellbook, "I use this."
Both spellbooks and staffs were mage weapons, but most mages chose staffs.
After all, staffs looked impressive and could sometimes be used for blocking or simple physical attacks.
Spellbooks didn’t have these functions.
Comparatively, staffs were more practical.
This was common knowledge, and Xia Xue didn’t understand, "But staffs are more practical than spellbooks."
Lin Moyu shook his head, "I don’t like staffs."
...
This reason left Xia Xue speechless.
It was actually because of this.
Come to think of it, she had never seen Lin Moyu take out a spellbook.
"Perhaps he doesn’t care about the small boost from the spellbook," she thought.
Lin Moyu, unaware of Xia Xue’s thoughts, was checking his level-up attribute changes.
[Name: Lin Moyu]
[Career: Necromancer (Unique)]
[Level: 15 (8.00%)]
[Strength: 200]
[Agility: 200]
[Spirit: 800 (+20)]
[Constitution: 200 (+20)]
[Equipment: Goblin King’s Spellbook, Robe of Knowledge]
[Summoning Space: 84/150, Skeleton Warrior (Quantity: 84)]
[Talent: Full Enhancement (Level 2, Unique)]
[Passive Skill: Damage Transfer]
[Active Skills: Soul Fire (Level 15), Summon Skeleton Warrior (Level 15), Corpse Explosion (Level 1)]
Finally reaching level 15 greatly increased his chances of entering Summer Capital University.
Level 16 would be ideal, but even if he couldn’t reach it, it shouldn’t be a big problem.
After reaching level 15, the experience gain slowed down again.
Lin Moyu had expected to gain about 12% experience, but only got 8%.
Although teaming up with Xia Xue meant sharing some experience,
It was indeed much slower.
Lin Moyu calculated in his mind.
Xia Xue’s Junior Cooldown Talisman could let them run the dungeon three more times together.
At his speed, three dungeon runs would take about half an hour.
Then they would have two more natural cooldown opportunities.
So they could run the dungeon five more times.
Of course, he would bring Xia Xue for the last two runs as well.
Since he started with her, he wouldn’t leave her behind later. Lin Moyu wouldn’t do that.
"Running five times in a two-person team should be enough for me to reach level 16."
Looking at the fallen Goblin King, Lin Moyu said softly, "Sorry, I might have to kill you five more times."
Seeing Lin Moyu talk to the Goblin King, Xia Xue found it strange.
"Why are you talking to the BOSS? It can’t understand you."
Lin Moyu said quietly, "I just want to say it. Whether it understands or not isn’t important."
Xia Xue was even more puzzled, "Then why say it?"
Lin Moyu didn’t answer Xia Xue’s question.
For some reason, Xia Xue thought of Lin Moyu apologizing to the BOSS and suddenly found him somewhat cute.
Who would seriously apologize to a BOSS like that?
Aren’t dungeons meant to be farmed?
Aren’t BOSSes meant to be killed?
Those high-level dungeon BOSSes, though killed countless times, have also killed countless career professionals.
What’s there to apologize for?
"What a strange person, yet somewhat cute."
Xia Xue suddenly laughed.
Lin Moyu gave her an odd look, "Let’s go out and continue."
"Okay, let’s continue."
